Camallain Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but in an article in this weeks "What's On TV" Russell T Davies the shows writer commented when asked what wonders lie in store on the Doctor's continuing adventures ? ~ "Cybermen! We were going to keep it secret like we tried with the Daleks - but we knew their photo would be in the tabloids within five minutes. Something to look forward too there.....now about these Ice Warriors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hmmm... did they show any pictures? No, of course not... Ah, well ^^' I hope they're not still allergic to gold. That was rather rediculous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camallain Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hmmm... did they show any pictures? No, of course not... Ah, well ^^' If it's going to be the best part of a year until we get the next series I would doubt the Cyberman costume has even reached the drawing board yet alone been photgraphed. Still, it's good to know they are on the way back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 You'd be surprised how much in advance these things are planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 oh good - would like to see them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsw182 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It would obviously look a tad silly to have the traditional Cybermen. They updated the look of the Daleks very slightly, I would have thought the Cybermen will require more of a makeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petra1989 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 When I first heard they were coming back I was so happy. I never figured out why, but I like the Cybermen better than the Daleks. My favorite costume of theirs was the one where you could see the chin of the person inside. That was creepy. Here is a link on BBC to some CGI Cybermen.

Fenriswolf Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have a feeling that they may well sleek them up a little and make them a lot less ponderous. That would be a nice contrast to the old Cybermen who always seemed to be the slow 'lumbering' sort...then again, they did supposedly weigh quite a bit.

dingding100 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I hope that they look a little like they do on the cover of "Real Time". Looks all pissed and fired up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I hope they're not still allergic to gold. That was rather rediculous... Help! Help! The Cybermen are attacking and I'm too poor to use gold to suffocate them when they don't need air anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I always thought that the device on the front of their chest was an air filter, which they actually used to breathe since in earlier incarnations they still had some human parts? Memory is a little fuzzy after all those years however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petra1989 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 They still need to breath, bu they can shut down the filter and use internal air for periods of time. That's why they can get suficated with gold and survive in space. Strange combination.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsw182 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I'd imagine a step up in the look, akin to that of the Borg when they were reconfigured for First Contact & Voyager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 As far as I know, they still have some of their original brain, and possibly other bits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu69 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I always liked the Cybermen. Unlike the Daleks they aren't strictly "evil." They simply want to survive; they've no plans of "assimilating" the universe. But they were persecuted and attacked wherever they went. Not saying I'd like to be one, of course! I always thought the more advanced Cybermen had a brain only as the organic component. But hey, the brain still needs oxygen. Maybe gold's the weakness because the production crew just had alot of gravel and gold paint lying around.... But yeah its silly, "glittergun" anybody? Now me, I'd like to see the Master return in some form. And frankly I don't like the "I'm the last Time Lord" thing. If the Daleks survived then some other Time Lords could have too regardless of the Doctor's insistance that he'd "just know." Or how about the Sea Devils?

Fenriswolf Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'd love to see the Master return myself, and some of the older classic Who villains. What could the team do with some of our old favourites I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybrick Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I wouldn't expect an extreme update of the Cybermen. For continuity's sake, they're probably not going to diverge much from the one whose head was on display at the beginning of "Dalek". I'm a recent classic series convert so I don't necessarily know what I'm talking about. I've never even seen any Cybermen episodes before. I downloaded "Revenge of the Cybermen" but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could the team do with some of our old favourites I wonder?[/quote'] Hrm. The only "classic Who villains" I can ever bring to mind are the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Master. (I suppose the Autons count now too, since they were in the new series pilot). Who did you have in mind? (Edit - counting Davros in with the Daleks, of course. Would be interesting to see his return.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
